As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased.The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities

Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis uponcredentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility.

Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into

American society

The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the

century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920

schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly

lengthened Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and

counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the largerindustrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by publicschools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies

Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs

of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate youngwomen so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place manyeducators considered appropriate for women was the home

Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, Americaneducation gave homemaking a new definition In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the

production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities

both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States,however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal Americanhomemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumerhomemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children “efficiently” in their own homes, or ifeconomic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made thesenotions seem quite out-of-date

Question 35: The paragraph preceding the whole reading passage probably discusses _.

A the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century

B the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century

C the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteencentury

D the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century

Question 36: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance

A the growing number of schools in frontier communities

B the increased urbanization of the entire country

C the expanding economic problems of schools

D an increase in the number of trained teachers

* Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

The art world

One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist In effect, a

market must be created for an artist to be successful The practice of signing and numbering individualprints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth - century artist best known forthe painting of his mother, called “Arrangement in Grey and Black”, but known to most of us as “Whistler’s Mother” Whistler’s brother - in - law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well - known artist,

had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that they were only a limited

number of copies produced By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each

print

As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher

prices, they began copying the procedure

Although most prints are signed on the right - hand side in the margin below the image, the placement ofthe signature is a matter of personal choice Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of

the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is

still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition

Question 55: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage?

Question 57: The word “speculated” in bold type could best be replaced by _.

Question 58: The word “ distinguish” in bold type is closest in meaning to

A make improvements B accept changes C recognize differences D allow exceptions

Question 59: The word “it” in bold type refers to

A the same edition B the reverse side C a print D the image

Question 60: Where in the passage does the author indicate where an artist’s signature might be found on

a work?

A Lines 14-15 B Lines 6-7 C Lines 9-10 D Lines 11-13

Question 61: What does the author mean by the statement: “As soon as Whistler and Haden began the

practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value” ?

A The signatures became more valuable than the prints

C The prints that were signed and numbered were worth more

Question 63: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print

EXCEPT

A it guarantees the print’s authenticity B it encourages higher prices for the print

C it limits the number of copies of the print D it makes the print more personal

Question 64: It can be inferred from the passage that artists number their prints _.
